No iCloud sync?

I really like the look and feature set! However, the iCloud sync option is greyed out, even though I’ve purchased the app. Is there something to be done about this?

Thanks.

greedy

only allows 1 countdown and forces u to pay for their subscription to add another

Me

This was a great app to use to keep me motivated while I was waiting to close on my house!!

Bait and switch

You get ONE free countdown, and then for a nominal fee you can unlock ALL the features and additional countdowns.

Great Free Tier, excellent Quality

Good quality, does what it says it does. Good free tier and cool upgrades for the paid tier. I wish more apps were like this.

Not a free app

This app is only free if you are ok with only having 1 countdown. Otherwise you need to pay $4.00 to unlock all the features. I know that minimal but I wish apps would be upfront about any and all costs involved before we download the app. Disappointed, since it looked easy to use but I’ll be deleting.

Frustrated 😭

I don’t normally write reviews but I’m very frustrated, the app only let me make 1 widget for free 😭 it looked like a generally good app overall until I found out about having to pay to create more than one widget , I am extremely disappointed 😭

Have to pay for more countdowns!?

I would love this app, but I don’t like how you have to pay to get more countdowns, it only gives you one free countdown then you have to pay for more. I highly dislike that about this app and wouldn’t recommend unless you want to pay.

Easy to use

Cost is reasonable and just does what it should.

Works!

I really like this Countdown app. It was relatively inexpensive and has a bunch of features that others don’t. I think it was worth the price I paid just for the simple fact of adding widgets to your home screen.

The best!

Don’t stray wrong…get this and know to the minute your deadlines and streaks.

Okay

If you make a customization, it wants you to pay. Which is fine but there’s no way to go back to the standard widget without starting over. Very annoying.

No longer working

I enjoy this app but am no longer able to edit widgets to display a countdown. It only shows the instructions with a red background even if I change the display.

the real deal

Finally a countdown app not blocked by a paywall

Thanks for actually making it Free❤️

Some blessed app devs right there

Not free, all promise no delivery

Able to create one Countdown or count up widget, before encountering the paywall.
Was fairly intuitive for creating the widget. Would prefer to disable the clock functionality, only need the days.
Did not see how that function could be disabled.

Nice simple tracker

For long countdowns, would love if I could get notified on milestones eg every 100 days or it’s 1 year away etc

It’s amazing, but it’s missing one thing

I really, really hope you guys add away for us to just add a picture in the widget and no need for a timer on it

Great app

Couple bugs w/text entry being covered over

Fun and easy to use

Fun way to track next events and easy to customize with pictures
